One of the [[thirteen original Transformers]], '''Nexus Prime''' was created to guard [[Rarified Energon]] by [[Primus]] shortly after he assumed his planet form, and was known for being an honorable and good-natured warrior. However, Nexus Prime, [[Vector Prime]], and [[Alpha Trion (disambiguation)|Alpha Trion]] made a decision to scatter Nexus Prime across the cosmos to conceal the location of the remains of [[Prima]]'s [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] sword, a weapon that could destroy star systems. Using the blade of the Star Saber, this Transformer was cut into five other robots: [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]], and [[Heatwave]], who were subsequently lost to the ages.

But the skills of Nexus Prime are needed once again, and now that his components have been called together by Primus, he searches the multiverse for the components to the Star Saber sword, armed with his masterful control over all uses of [[Energon (Energon)|Energon]], and ability to manipulate [[spark]]s.

He is sometimes, unfortunately, known as '''Nexus Maximus'''.

The [[Caretaker]] told its components that Nexus Prime was "designated a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]", like the other original thirteen. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

When Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave made an attempt to use their powers to revive the recently-assassinated [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], they were transported—along with a revived Skyfall—to the presence of [[Primus]] in the "afterlife". He gave them a choice of living (or staying dead) as they were, or being reborn as what they were meant to be. After the gestalt members made their deliberations, Primus declared, "The choice is made. Arise, Nexus Prime," as they started the transformation. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}}

Nexus Prime reformatted the dead Megatron into the powerful Galvatron, investing in him some of the power of the Thirteen. The two exited the Decepticon stronghold to counter [[Omega Doom]]'s offensive, but they were forced to split up when Doom launched a starkilling missile into Cybertron's sun. Though his Decepticon components protested leaving the battle, Nexus Prime knew saving this Cybertron's star system was of more immediate importance. Regardless, he was too late in stopping the missile, and its energies began to destroy the sun. Nexus began to concentrate.

Nexus returned to Cybertron triumphant, having used his own powers to negate those of the starkilling missile, and he made short work of Omega Doom, saving Galvatron in the nick of time. Though there was more on this Cybertron to do, such as finishing [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] once and for all, Nexus Prime knew he had to leave for another universe. After saying goodbye to [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], he entered a portal with [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]], trusting fate to bring him to the correct destination. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}}

*'''Nexus Maximus''' (2009)
:Nexus Maximus is composed of his five team members, with Heatwave forming his central body component. His limbs' [[energon weapon]]s form his hands and feet. Similarly to [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'s "[[Scramble City]]" combiner teams, Nexus Maximus (as well as [[Superion Maximus]], [[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] and [[Constructicon Maximus]]) features universal connection points for the limbs, allowing many different combinations and even swapping of limbs from different teams. His combined form's head was [[retool]]ed to give him a unique one, which is an amalgamation of visual elements of its components' own heads: Skyfall's eyes, Landquake's chin, Breakaway's forehead, Topspin's "hair", and Heatwave's "ears".

:Nexus Maximus is the combined form of the first five [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] freebie toys: Skyfall, Landquake, Breakaway, Topspin, and Heatwave.

==Notes==
*[[Fun Publications]] originally submitted the possible names "Prime Nexus" and "Maximus Prime" to [[Hasbro]] for the character (reflecting the fact that the character is a Prime in-fiction), Hasbro rejected these, apparently because they are feeling protective towards the use of the name Prime (despite previously having approved the fiction that already named him a Prime, written by their own [[Forest Lee]]). Hasbro suggested merging the non-Prime segments of the two names instead... oops.
*Apparently neither Hasbro nor Fun Publications did their research when naming Nexus Maximus, because there is another product which shares that name and was, as of [[May 24]], [[2009]], the top Google result (this wiki page has since surpassed it). While it is definitely a "toy", it is most assuredly not intended for ages 5 and up. It's also probably not safe for work, so [http://www.vixencreations.com/store/maximus.html click here] at your own risk. According to the Fun Publications Club panel at [[BotCon 2009]], Hasbro did a search for the name with "safe search" on, causing them to not see... well, ''that''.
*When he finally appeared in person in fiction, his name was given as indeed being Nexus Prime. Which makes much better sense story-wise but deprives us of many cheap and easy joke opportunities. [[Pete Sinclair]] [http://www.transformersclub.com/members/transforum/msgs.cfm?forum=30&msg=116291 posted an image] on the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] forums of [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] blaming the "Nexus Maximus" name on a bad translation by [[Beta Maxx]].
*The debate is still on whether Nexus Maximus constitutes a choking hazard.
*It's hard to say what toyline Nexus Prime is from, as his components are from multiple franchises. How often does that happen?
*Nexus Prime's backstory bears a noticeable similarity to that of [[wikipedia:Voltron|Voltron]].
*Fun Publications stated at BotCon 2009 that the official limb arrangement for Nexus Prime is that of the configuration in his instructions. With Landquake as the right arm, Topspin as the left arm, Breakaway as the right leg, and Skyfall as the left leg. Why he was depicted in a different arrangement in the caverns around the [[Caretaker]] no one knows.
*Ironically, despite being labeled as an Autobot, a majority of the Transformers that make up Nexus Prime are Decepticons, albeit ones that are [[Landquake (Timelines)|disenchanted by the Decepticon cause]], [[Topspin (Classics)|misled by deceitful leaders]], or [[Heatwave|a completely different kind of Decepticon]].
*Since Nexus Prime was [[13 original Transformers|one of the 13]], and therefore a Transformer, we have to ask: [[Alternate mode|WHAT THE HECK DID HE TURN INTO]] BEFORE SPLITTING?

'''Ironhide's a pretty sporting guy.'''

==Synopsis==
Bumblebee has confined Soundwave inside a vacuum-sealed electromagnetic bubble, where his sonic weaponry is useless.

Ironhide is tracking Bludgeon through the jungles surrounding [[NEST]] headquarters. Optimus Prime orders him to avoid confrontation until reinforcements arrive. Ironhide engages camouflage in order to remain hidden, and it's so effective that Bludgeon runs right into him. Ironhide doesn't mind, as he wants to finish Bludgeon on his own.

They exchange insults and fight each other to a draw. Ironhide invites Bludgeon to join the Autobots, but Bludgeon refuses out of fear of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and jumps off of a cliff to escape.

{{note|While the events of this episode play out, a [[datatrax|data track]] recording narrated by Optimus Prime recaps pertinent events from [[Cyber Missions 1]].}}

"Shhh."
:—'''Bumblebee''' taunts the vacuum-silenced '''Soundwave'''.

==Notes==
===Animation or technical errors===
* TBD

===Continuity errors===
* In the first Cyber Mission, when Ironhide was pursuing Bludgeon, he already had his "Recon Ironhide" toy's zebra-stripe camouflage. He begins this episode in his standard colors.
*So, the ancient "datatrax of Vector Sigma" which Alpha Trion preserved and the Decepticons couldn't get... tell about the present? Weird.

===Transformers references===
*Ironhide [[color change]]s into his "Recon Ironhide" deco by engaging camouflage.
